A review by mayawinshell
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

4.0

four stars bc this book reveals the many loose ends jk row did not in fact tie off like i thought she might, the magic-rules-exposition crammed in right at the end that was extremely confusing to read, hermione’s ULTRA low bar for morality when she finally Snogs ron after he says “the slaves shouldn’t die for us right now,” and the fucking names of their kids in the epilogue. but the tragedy and the descriptions of grief in this book? slay mama. i did not want to be done with this series. i have been having the time of my life. what a great first time read….childhood nostalgia NOT necessary for enjoying this, can attest. i have to read percy jackson next, immediately

also everyone should watch this Shaun video on harry potter about its many glaring errors (most of which i had NO time to dwell on, not on a first-time read): https://youtu.be/-1iaJWSwUZs sooooo good lol
